Posted 17th December 2017

Beautifully printed and elegantly designed magazines can make a fantastic addition to the marketing materials of a business or organisation. Whether they’re used to raise awareness of products and corporate activities, share information on related events or simply to keep customers informed, magazines can help to boost brand awareness, enhance an organisation’s image and help to create an easily identifiable company identity.

Thanks to the popularity of magazine printing, we’re often asked about the cost of a magazine print run. As this can vary significantly depending on the requirements of the client, we thought we’d give you a rundown of the main factors affecting magazine printing prices and how you can begin planning a magazine print run of your own.

Printing high quality magazines

Thanks to the modern techniques and high-quality printing equipment we use, we’re able to produce magazines to an exceptionally high standard. Clients can choose to have magazines printed in a variety of formats, materials and finishes, allowing us to create magazines that fit the design brief perfectly.

What affects the cost of magazine print runs?

One of the many factors affecting the cost of a magazine print run is size. In general, the more magazines you have printed the lower the unit cost will be. This means that producing a large volume of magazines, all at one time, could save you money overall.

Another factor that will impact on your magazine printing quote is paper stock. Although all of the print we produce are of a very high standard, clients can still choose between different paper stocks and printing techniques to create the product that’s perfect for their needs and budget.

Last but not least, the lead time on your order can affect the cost of the job. If you need your magazines back in a hurry, you may find you pay more for the print run compared to jobs that have plenty of time to turn around.
